Credit Agricole CIB FX Strategy Research discusses EUR/USD outlook and notes that the USD surprised the market with a late afternoon rebound on Wednesday.
“There could be scope for a further USD recovery if Congress reaches a spending deal this week which remains our base case. Thus, although our long-term bearish view on the USD remains intact, in the near-term we are likely to see the dollar increasingly prone to short squeezes,” CACIB argues.
